I get this error message after I burned the DVD and tried to install it. I tried the CDs, even Kubuntu 0704 and nothing works. I have a P4 with 256MB Rambus Memory and 200GB of space. I don't get it, why is this MCE so bloody hard to install?

1) That's not enough memory, 512 should be considered the minimum2) Can you please post whatever you are doing prior to the error and what messages if gives you. Is that upon initial boot of the DVD, the HDD, or is during the install process... I need a lot more information3) Doing a quick google brought this as the first result... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=292533... A little research on your part would be nice...

oh sorry i misunderstood. i thought it was a "failed installation" not "failing to install". sorry...just to check though....the rambus ram is installed correctly right? sometimes it can be a pain. dells are good for being picky about pair ordering. i imagine you just have to 128's though right?

sorry...one more thing...could it be the CD drive? are you using SATA or PATA? i know there were some issues mixing ...people with IDE CD roms and SATA HD's couldnt get the install to work. maybe the CD drive is failing?
